Bronze Member Username: Sony224422Deep River, CT US Post Number: 47 Registered: Dec-04 | I am thinking about getting my alpines as 2+2 ohms.. whats the difference betweens these and the 4+4 ohms. I don't really get it, i haven't gotten an amp yet, but i am going to want to put about 400 watts RMS into each sub (2 12's r's) and have the amp put out around 800 RMS, with like a 1200 peak. |

New member Username: Gakel05Florida Usa Post Number: 3 Registered: Feb-05 | we just put 2 12 w6v2's, off 1 1000/1 jl amp, it sound horrible, i had to take it back and try to work up another set up, the problem i am having is that my car has a metal plate behine the backseat, so the trunk is completely surronded by metal, and we are having a hard time getting air pressure into the cab, do you think the set up i listed before would help w/ that. |
